    Need Some Help.

    A few days ago I had some adware and trojans on my computer, I've done a lot of virus scans and removed all the viruses as far as I can tell... My problem is that when I google something and click a link that comes up on the google search it opens a new page and just opens an ad instead, it wont open the link.. Can anyone tell me how to get this to stop? Thanks.

    You probably have your pop-up blocker turned off, simply just turn it back on and be sure your firewall is also on. Either one of these should reduce pop-ups.

    i would maybe buy a better scanner to cause you can get viruses that dont ruin your computer just open up the flood gates and let them all back in again, there really hard to track

    I am currently using Trend Micro PC-cillin internet security 2007, blocks almost all ads and works great. Note: you have to buy it.

    Alright, now that it has it found look where it says it is, then copy and paste where it is into your address bar, once there delete the folder.
